Chapter 1519: Chapter 781 Guidance Book: Unlimited_2
“Chen… Officer!”
Finally, Gu Changfeng lowered his head and respectfully greeted Chen Mobai.
“There’s no need to be nervous. I’ve simply come to ask about some straightforward matters.”
Previously, the Immortal Gate had also encountered the Zixiao Palace Ruins. At that time, Gu Changfeng and others unintentionally entered and acquired forbidden techniques from the Antiquity Daoist System.
“Yes, Officer. Please ask; I shall reveal all that I know.”
Gu Changfeng’s attitude was extremely respectful.
Chen Mobai took out the dossier about him, which had been interrogated by Lan Haitian. It covered all aspects of Zixiao Palace and the Antiquity Daoist System.
However, there was one matter that was not recorded.
And that was Qing Nu!
Based on what Chen Mobai estimated, with Lan Haitian’s intelligence, this clue should not have been overlooked.
It is possible that due to Qing Nu’s connection to Lin Daoming, who was then the Hall Master of the Xianwu Hall, the interrogation deliberately avoided going deep into this matter.
Alternatively, it might have been asked, but since it led to complications that were difficult to deal with, it was removed from the dossier.
Chen Mobai was here precisely to inquire about this.
“Did you accept Qing Nu as your disciple by chance, or was there someone behind the scenes arranging for you to do so?”
With this question, the respectful expression on Gu Changfeng’s face immediately changed.
An unusual atmosphere began to take shape in the room.
The cultivators from the Military Department, such as Miao Wanliang, who were observing the interrogation, felt something amiss as Gu Changfeng did not reply.
Who is Qing Nu?
They did not know, but they sensed that this matter was not simple.
“At that time, she excelled in the herb identification class, and I just happened to need an assistant, so I took her on as a disciple.”
After Gu Changfeng made this statement, Chen Mobai looked at the Mind-reading Talisman to confirm it as the truth. Nevertheless, he shook his head and continued to probe deeper.
“Do you know that Qing Nu is a product of the Immortal Sprout cultivation project?”
Struggle appeared on Gu Changfeng’s face, but under the intense gaze of Chen Mobai and with the Mind-reading Talisman affixed to the wall, he finally heaved a sigh and nodded resignedly.
“I am aware.”
“Besides your own intentions, was there anyone else or any force behind you pushing you to accept Qing Nu as your disciple?”
“The Dragon and Tiger Ancestor from the Ascension Sect.”
Once a breakthrough was made, Gu Changfeng no longer resisted and confessed, knowing that since Chen Mobai had come, he must already have the relevant evidence.
“How did you come into contact and correspond with the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor?”
“Within the Zixiao Palace Ruins, there was a mage puppet. After we entered, we obtained some forbidden techniques from the puppet body. Some people couldn’t control themselves and began cultivating them, consequently turning into puppets manipulated by the Ascension Sect.”
“And you?”
“At that time, my cultivation level had been stuck at a bottleneck for thirty years. Three years after leaving Zixiao Palace, unable to resist the temptation to break through, I cultivated the Devour God Technique, and subsequently, the puppet of the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor approached me. Under his guidance, I took on Qing Nu as my disciple.”
Hearing this, Chen Mobai roughly confirmed one thing.
Yan Xinji should be the Dragon and Tiger Ancestor.
It’s unclear whether it’s through soldier resolution and reincarnation, or that he has received the Antiquity Daoist System inheritance, continuing this title.
After asking these questions, Chen Mobai inquired about the conditions of the Zixiao Palace Ruins.
However, this content had already been interrogated before.
Once Chen Mobai verified it matched with the dossier in his mind, he nodded towards Miao Wanliang next to him, and the two left the room together.
“The criminal is connected to the Ascension Sect. Should it be reported to the Department of Law Enforcement to see if the sentence needs to be extended?”
As soon as they stepped out of the door, Miao Wanliang tentatively asked.
“Report the facts as they are, and let the higher-ups decide on the subsequent steps.”
After uttering these words, Chen Mobai also left a box of tea leaves and then departed from the prison.
He and Gu Changfeng actually had no personal grudges, but once this matter was reported, the latter’s imminent release from prison was bound to become complicated.
After the interrogation, Chen Mobai returned home.
He informed Shi Wanyu and Chen Xiaohei about his upcoming trip to the far north Grotto Heaven, and the mother and daughter were naturally very reluctant to part with him.
But being part of the Immortal Gate, they also understood the importance of the bigger picture.
“Dad, come back early.”
The next day, Chen Xiaohei took leave and, along with Shi Wanyu, escorted Chen Mobai to Red Sandstone City.
“You are already an adult now. Take good care of your mom while I’m away.”
After speaking a few words with his daughter, Chen Mobai turned to Shi Wanyu and went over to quietly share a few tender words with her.
“It’s going to be tough on you managing things at home while I’m gone.”
“Mhm, be careful out there.”
Shi Wanyu nodded gently, giving a somewhat concerned reminder.
Chen Mobai waved goodbye to them and then activated the Underworld Array to enter the airport directly.
After leaving home, Chen Mobai arrived at the place closest to the far north.
Snow Sea Cave Heaven.
This was Wang Shuye’s hometown, as well as the last transit station en route to the far north Grotto Heaven.
The regular flights of the Immortal Gate can only go as far as here to the north.
Upon descent, Chen Mobai was received by a Foundation Establishment Practitioner and taken to the place where Wang Shuye was recuperating.
“Cough cough cough… Why did you go out of your way to come here…”
Wang Shuye was sitting in a chair, looking much older, displaying an air of decline.
“How is your health?”
